PRFXIMINARY RKMARKS.
The collection of books conslitutiiiy our I^og Cabin l{(jok-Shelf for the present
year, 1S91, is of a more restricted character than any of the i)recediny collections
under tlie same title which have been exhibited in the Pioneers' I.odj;e. It is
confined to works written by, or relating; to, llie jjrcat scholar Krasnuis, who did
so much in the early jicriotl of the i6th century for the revival of learning in
Europe,
The claim of this special collection to a place on our Iav^ Shanty Hook-Shelf
rests on the same grounds that have justified the exhibition of previous collections
there, it being a />i>n,i fide accumulation of books originating years ago, at a time
when the opportunities were few for making any literary collections at all of a
curious character, and formed by one greatly lacking guidance and experience at
ihe moment, but at the same time anxious for self-improvement intellectually.
Having acciden'ally, at a very early age, fallen in with an obscure copy of the
Colloquies or Dialogues of Erasmus arranged for scIhjoI purposes, I chanced to
become greatly interesteil in its contents, familiar ac'iuaintaiice with which became
more easy soon after by the ac(juisition of a copy ot 1,'Estrange's (piaint Old
English translation.
I'.rasmus, as is well known, exhibits himself in these colloquies as what I have
styled an Anii-Obscuraiitist, that is, as one inclined to remove, in a friendly way,
the clouds and mists which in the lapse of years had insensibly gathered over the
face of things in the literary and religious world.
Thus iiuloC inateil, one l)ecame somewhat desirous of becoming an Anti-
Obscurantist himself in his day and generation ; and in this, iu a very humble
degree, \ succeetletl in doing, as the tenor of the several collections of books that
have from time to time formetl our Log Cabin Book-.Shelf will show.
Eurthermore, when the date of the commencement of these several collections is
considered, in the first (juarter of the pre. ent century— say, 1824-25— I think I
may lay some claim to the honour of being in these parts, like Erasmus himself, a
Pioneer Anti-Obscurantist.
While residing as a student at Cambridge from 1S33 to 1837 I used often to
contemplate with great interest the so-called " Erasmus' Walk " in the grounds
of <^)ueen's College, also a certain small tower attached to the same college, known
as " Erasmus' Turret " from the fact that a study of the great scholar was situated
in it. It was in this .urret that Erasmus began the examination and collation of
such existing ancient manuscript copies of the Holy Scriptures as he could lay his
hands upon in their original languages, which led eventually to the publication of
his famous edition of the Greek Testament in the year 1516— a memorable step

Having become very familiar with the first traditions of < hiistianity, as rectjided
hy the Apostles and Pivanyelists, Kra.smus coul«! not eiulure the foiled doeu-
menls, Fictions, the Glosses, and so called developments and definitions, which in
his lime, ke]>t out of view the deposit of divine truth. His constant aim was that
these should he taken out of the way in a i^oixl humoured maimer of his own.
If as \'ossius cf)njecluied, (inli ojiposed to and iiionw monk, he the real derivation
of antiinonv. then there was much antimony in Erasmus remedies. He especially
assailed the monks. The Monks and Friars hail multiplied exceedingly through-
out the leiii^th and hreailtli of the laml, in the P.ritish islands as well as <jn the
continent of Furope. The rank and tile of these orders hail unhapjiily degenerated
into a condition of great ignorance and n.iirow-inimletlness. Ileini^ hrouj^lit into
intimate relations with the huinhler classes as preachers and licensed mendicants,
they exercised a very I lowerfnl iiilluence amongst ihem, creating a gieatei obstacle

to the general spread of improvement in rej^aril to manners and education, than
any other class of men in the communily.
Through the instrumentality of his friend Colet, Erasmus may be said to have
ina;.gurated a new and better school system for Clreat Britain, Colet being in-
delited to him for many of the enlij^hiened idea-. eml)odied in the rules and con-
ditions of St. Paul's School, the first of that grouji of remarkable institutions
which was established in England after the so-styled Kettaissatue, or New-birth
of learning, in Europe.
Teutonic, as distinguished from Latin Christianity had in Erasmus, one of its
earliest promoters. At the same time Erasmus was very conservative He ex-
hibited no desire to disturb the primitive organization which held together
Chri>tian society in the several nations of Europe, although that, too, in the lapse
of years had become encumbered with excrescences, which he desired to see
judiciously removed.
Several extremists who took ]i.Trt in the great controversies of the age strenuously
endeavoured to draw Erasmus into a line of action foreign to his natural tempera-
•ment. Going so far, why not go further ? Or, if so conservative, why break at
all with the old condition of things? Happily fot himself and for the world,
Erasmus did not fall into the snare. rrobat)ly it is due to the moderation of
Erasmus that he was permitted to die a natural death. It should be recalled, too,
that >cveral of the Hishops of Rome treated him with friendliness, as for example
Adrian VI. and Leo X.
Nevertheless, it cannot lie s.iid tiiat he clo^ed lii-. days in peace. .\s the end
drew near, the onslaughts upon him of < >bscurantist writers increased in virulenee.
Erasmus long suffered grievously from calculi. At length the malady carried him
off. He entered into his rest at liasle on the I2ih of July, 1536.
